Believe me once you’ve got through the first phase it gets so much easier and the pride of what you have accomplished is beautiful. Good luck my friend

Thank you again Dr Frank. Day 8 for me and now the only negatives are the nightmares/super vivid dreams. I'm already back creating music, working harder, earning more, spending more time with my gf and family. This channel has been such a help.

[@russelljconquerslifehawkey]

You have a literally saved my life. I am almost 30 days sober from smoking dabs and weed for over 20 years and I couldn’t be happier. I am pursuing my own business. I am living a life of freedom. I feel so free and so happy now. thank you for all you said is really help me get through the worst of times.

[@cs3518]

My life is relatively successful which makes me think weed isn’t a problem. Yet, deep down, I know it’s keeping me in the wrong mindset. Especially the “what’s the point” mindset which carries into so many other things that I know I deserve and could achieve easily. I’m day 1 right now and I already know if I can quit it will snowball into other areas of my life Also, the addition mindset is insane. And it’s insane that we identify with it. I’m into spirituality and see the addiction to substances as the same as our addiction to suffering and ego. It’s so powerful and we don’t even notice it until we “call it out” as you said. Powerful stuff man. Cheers

[@wvigotty]

Hi. I relate to everything you talked about. I am now on day 3 of not using delta 8 and 9 thc vapes. I did have 15 years of sobriety from crack, pot and alcohol but relapsed on those vapes. I thought I could control it, after all it's only thc. I got addicted from the first hit of delta 8 thc vapes. I am not having any physical withdrawal symptoms but the mental craving hits me the most in the evenings. I was debating going out to buy another thc vape until I saw your video. I'm going to wait another day and hopefully the craving will pass. Thank you for what you do.

[@AddictionMindset]

Cravings do pass with time. You don’t need to act on the cravings. I have a bunch of videos on cravings if you search the channel. Any of my videos on nicotine cravings will also apply to THC

[@Colekendellhandsome]

Dr. Frank I would love your perspective on losing sight of who you used to be before addiction took over. I wanted to recapture the confident happy person I was before weed. I got so entrenched in the marijuana world that I nearly forgot who I was. My main motivation has always been a knowing that I was a much happier person before active addiction. I miss that person and want more than anything to find him again and live the rest of my life rebuilding that person.

[@cnccccccd]

Me too Cole, I hope you are doing well and have found your happier self again

[@dgriffith7566]

I chose to relapse last night because of how bad I was depressed I figured it was better for me to relapse and not go to far with my own depression ! Hate myself for it !

damn i felt this really...i was raped when i was 6 and i never knew how to handle myself im very antisocial because im scared to have friends...growing up til i was 15 i open up to my parents my mom didn't believe me she thought it was the drugs my dad did..overall im 20 i figured alot of things out i just wish i was emotionally strong i feel broken alot but this video made me realize the "bullshit" lies i was telling myself ima stop is now for real..ever since i found your channel you really got my eye open.

[@AddictionMindset]

I am so so so sorry to hear what had happened. With that being said, dont let addiction use past trauma as fuel for its use, this is how addiction traps many people. Trauma does not need to be defined by addiction, it’s a lie that addictive voice tells us. I am glad this video hit home for you

I have subscribed to your channel , and have bookmarked a lot of your videos in my browser , and also sent those link to myself via email (just in case) . I think I need to learn how to "punish myself" in a productive way . If you find the time to reply to this comment I would really appreciate the advice .

Doc your videos help me so much. Might i ask you? How is it mentally working with addicts watching people over and over relapse and not stay true to there word and constantly dealing with peoples problems ? Ik you love what you do but i feel like it would get annoying to see people making comments like there 7 days clean when you know there gunna smoke again probably. Kinda hard what im trying to ask.

Week 6 here and this anxiety is the worst body anxiety. Can you explain the dangers of THC-O? I smoked it heavily for a month. I was on it 24/7 that whole month basically and when I stopped I had insomnia,diarrhea,stomach cramps, anxiety/depression, sweats, chills, and panic attacks. Like I said the anxiety is still there just more manageable and less intense but when it does act up it it’s the worst. I only get this type of anxiety after drinking alcohol the night before.

[@muhumad33]

Hi dr, I think you should mention that some people when they get off weed, like me, besides irritability and other things they can also get intrusive thoughts, ruminating thoughts telling themselves over and over to quit ect… so obsessive thinking it’s really bad. I noticed that it was a problem after smoking it for three weeks every day, I went for a surf in the morning and I didn’t have any, and I should be enjoying it but I was just angry and having intrusive ruminating thoughts, same thought over and over again type thing. I felt like I didn’t have any joy unless I had it. That’s when it became a problem and it only took 21 days to get fully addicted. and I was only smoking litte amounts but doing it every day. I’m glad I am day 4 quiting because it Allways ends up same result for me, starts off nice but then addicted then try to get off it and feel this anxiety over thinking type symptoms. It’s not good for mental health that’s for sure

[@muhumad33]

[@abousamra9400]

quited like a month ago for 15+ days felt so good and in control but had insane near realistic day dreams a light(child on a holiday) mood, it felt so good as if my sober mind wanted to reverse the vast sadness and emptiness and went overdrive on natural mood boosters and better than all the mood swings finally stopped, but unfortunately i relapsed bcz i thought i am stronger more aware and more cautious than before, have a little left, will finish them and redo the same torture as the previous one's.

[@fryfrom98]

I got put on toxic pills as a child and currently use delta 8 tch along with normal pot every day instead. take breaks, manage your dose be aware of problems that may be a part of use ( i really stay focused on staying productive more than average to counteract side effects) there is a middle ground if the drug is a real solution. im happier and healthier than ever. if your struggling getting sober now maybe theres a step between where you are in control of your use atleast and could move on to sobriety if it doesnt work
